Nail Varnish, a black & red glass sculpture with platinum by Asa Jungnelius
About the Item
'Nail Varnish' is an oversized sculptural version of its functional counterpart by the Swedish artist Asa Jungnelius for Kosta Boda. Monumental in scale, this hand-blown artwork in bright intoxicating red, contrasting black with platinum lustre detail, creates a piece with presence. The domestic gives way to the statuesque with the aim to challenge our perceptions of what we are surrounded by, in our everyday environment.
Åsa Jungnelius is a visual artist (MFA) and a Lecturer at Konstfack, University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, based in Stockholm and Månsamåla.
Her work is often material-related and goes from interiors to monumental formats where our bodies’ relations, the objects we surround them with and the rooms they act in together are investigated through a material language. The constant positing of material in the intersection of economy, ecology and the social describes the preconditions for the time in which we live. The objects become a sort of fetish of ourselves as individuals and our contemporary condition.
Jungnelius is Artistic Director of Residence-In-Nature and works on a public artwork, The Seashell, for the extension of the Stockholm metro (2016). Her work has been exhibited at Tensta Konsthall (2007), Crystal (2011), Norrköpings konstmuseum (2011), and as site-specific work in Hötorgshallen commissioned by the City of Stockholm (2013), Kalmar konstmuseum (2013), Chamber NYC (2017) Dunkers kulturhus (2017), Fullersta gård (2018), ArkDes (2018), He Xiangning Art Museum in Shenzhen (2018), and Luleå Biennalen (2019).
From 2007 to 2013 Jungnelius was a designer at Kosta Boda. She was part of founding WeWorkInAFragileMaterial (2003–2010) and today runs LASTSTUDIO. During 2019 Jungnelius makes a solo presentation at Vandalorum and participate in OpenArt, Örebro.
In the artist's own words;
"My first aim is to create glass that tells a story. Then I use aesthetics as a way of depicting the objective world in my own subjective manner. Often, I use stereotypical artefacts as a model or reference in order to highlight or destroy the myth and its significance".
